LBC said it was a shock

Beso 27-01-2025 01:57 PM

Tbh, the majority of them probably think a dictator is a funny shaped potatoe.

bots 27-01-2025 02:00 PM

it's because it has become more and more difficult for people to think for themselves. Having a dictator is the easier option, it involves zero thought

That's true, it's gotten to be a very militant right or left world. You have to follow all or nothing these days, especially people who post a lot on social media it seems

Then we must appoint Rupert Lowe

and start the mass deportations using the army

Oliver_W 27-01-2025 02:31 PM

I wonder what selection of questions were asked to lead to that conclusion. I can't see many people outright admitting to that viewpoint.

user104658 27-01-2025 02:32 PM

Again a link and context would be good here: how concerning this is depends on how the question was phrased. If such a thing as a truly benevolent dictatorship was possible, then it could be a fairly efficient form of government. Such a thing doesn't exist - but if the question was framed as, "if such a thing was possible", then vs. the current democratic system we have I can see why it seems tempting.

The issue with democracy is that you have to believe that a controlling majority (and not even necessarily an overall majority, just the largest group by numbers) will have the best interests of the whole population at heart.

We're increasingly discovering that that just isn't the case.

Would I rather have a fair, reasonable intelligent dictator in charge of the UK than Tommy Robbo and Katie Hopkins, if I believed that the majority of the population were going to vote them into power? 100% yes, absolutely.

And that's without taking the increasing risk of election manipulation via algoritm/propaganda into account - which is only going to get worse with AI.

It's in today's Times Newspaper


They are the Forgotten people
but they are media savvy,
switched-on and smart.


The report is to be published this Thursday.

arista 27-01-2025 02:39 PM

[Again a link and context would be good here]

Sorry SB
the Times Paper you have to pay
to view.


A link should be soon.

arista 27-01-2025 02:42 PM

Yes SB,
that's a good reason to go for
One Leader &
Army in Control.

arista 27-01-2025 02:43 PM

Rupert Lowe MP
no LT
he would prefer his leader to take the Job,

My thoughts exactly, so many people were so happy being told what to do during covid as well, it is pretty insane

Crimson Dynamo 27-01-2025 04:20 PM

This why we should get these young louts into the army for 4 years national service

no exceptions

Cherie 27-01-2025 05:58 PM

More than half of people aged between 13 and 27 said they believe ‘the UK would be a better place if a strong leader was in charge who does not have to bother with parliament and elections,’ according to The Times.

A third agree the country would be better off ‘if the army was in charge’.

And almost half think that ‘the entire way our society is organised must be radically changed through revolution’.

Think they need to step back from Netflix and Social Media and embrace a bit of reality
